Ethical hackers and security specialists join forces

Knowledge is power.
Ethical hackers and security specialists recently shared their knowledge and experiences and learned how they can jointly combat cyber crime even better.
At the table were representatives of KPMG Cyber, manufacturer Nedap Security Management and system integrator Mactwin Security. During the – remarkably open – roundtable discussion, the IT Security auditors present gave the other attendees insight into how an ethical hacker looks for weaknesses in systems, especially in physical security systems.
Nedap and Mactwin Security, in turn, provided insight into the structure of security systems, the integration within customer networks and the construction of the software.
Through this unique combination of knowledge and experts, the participants gained even more insight into how they can prevent and combat cyber crime.
During the conversation, the need for cooperation between system integrators, IT departments and even suppliers/manufacturers in countering and combating cyber crime became clear once again.
Although the interests of the parties sometimes differed, the meeting brought a great deal of insight and understanding of each other’s field of expertise, the possibilities and the vulnerabilities.
